TEN MORE YEARS TO RESTORE THE PLANET


THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A MORE URGENT NEED TO REVIVE DAMAGED ECOSYSTEMS THAN NOW.

Ecosystems support all life on Earth. The healthier our ecosystems are, the
healthier the planet - and its people. The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration
aims to prevent, halt and reverse the degradation of ecosystems on every
continent and in every ocean. It can help to end poverty, combat climate change
and prevent a mass extinction. It will only succeed if everyone plays a part.
